Sporting CP Reveals Asking Price for CB Ruben Amorim Loves

Manchester United Eye Summer Move for Gonçalo Inácio as Sporting Set Price Tag

Manchester United have reignited their pursuit of long-term target Gonçalo Inácio, with Sporting CP now reportedly open to negotiating the defender’s departure this summer.

The Red Devils’ interest in the Portuguese centre-back dates back months, with the club previously linked to him last summer.

Speculation intensified after Ruben Amorim—Inácio’s former manager at Sporting—took charge at Old Trafford this season, reuniting the pair who enjoyed success together in Portugal.

During the January transfer window, United explored a loan deal with an obligation to buy, but no agreement was reached.

However, fresh reports from Portuguese outlet A Bola suggest Sporting are now willing to sell Inácio for a fee of at least €45 million.

The 23-year-old has attracted significant interest following his standout performances this season.

In domestic league play, he boasts a 91% pass accuracy rate, along with 67% success in long-range distribution.

His European stats are equally impressive, with 89% pass accuracy and an exceptional 80% long-pass completion rate.

Defensively, he averages 1.6 tackles per game, providing stability at the back.

With his proven track record in top-tier European football and an existing rapport with Amorim, Inácio could represent a shrewd signing for United at the reported price.

As the summer window approaches, the club may finally secure their long-admired defensive reinforcement.
